<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Axon Enterprise's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Axon Enterprise's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.18%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>) stock increased by 12.78%, and in the past year, by 120.92%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Axon Enterprise P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 81.81 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, Axon Enterprise Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 116.8. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Axon Enterprise Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729794638_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

FAA Waiver Allows Campbell PD to Deploy&nbsp;DedroneBeyond for Drone-Agnostic Day and Night DFR Operations Without a Visual Observer
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>),&nbsp;the global leader in public safety technologies,&nbsp;today announced that the Campbell Police Department in California received a groundbreaking waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for&nbsp;beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations as part of its Drone as a First Responder (DFR) program. This approval is the first of its kind to include&nbsp;nighttime operations and allows Campbell Police Department to fly missions using Dedrone by Axon's cutting-edge DedroneBeyond technology without the need for visual observers.
Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs are changing how emergencies are handled by providing real-time situational&nbsp;awareness that improves response times and safety. With DFR, police can deploy drones as soon as 911 calls are received, giving them a clear picture of the situation before officers arrive. Until now, operating drones at night has been restricted due to visibility issues, limiting the full potential of DFR programs after dark.
Since starting its DFR program in 2022, Campbell Police Department has used a human visual observer with a daytime waiver for BVLOS operations. This has allowed the agency to get critical information from the air, helping them allocate resources more effectively and improve safety. With the FAA's latest approval under part 91.113(b), Campbell Police Department can now use DedroneBeyond's ground-based detect and avoid system for both daytime and&nbsp;nighttime operations, removing the need for human observers and enabling 24/7 drone use.
Acting as the virtual visual observer, DedroneBeyond operates with a remote pilot from a control center nearby and enables drones to be rapidly deployed, ascend to an approved altitude of up to 400 feet, and travel the most efficient route to incidents at any time of day and in any weather. AI-driven sensor fusion technology safely detects and avoids crewed aircraft without false alarms interrupting the mission. Once at the scene, the drone can either land or monitor from a safe and approved altitude.
The Campbell Police Department's DFR program integrates advanced technology from leading industry partners, including <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4281991-1&amp;h=3223956465&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dedrone.com%2F&amp;a=Dedrone+by+Axon">Dedrone by Axon</a>, <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4281991-1&amp;h=886544175&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.axon.com%2Fproducts%2Faxon-air&amp;a=Axon+Air+Remote">Axon Air Remote</a> powered by <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4281991-1&amp;h=3781682360&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dronesense.com%2F&amp;a=DroneSense">DroneSense</a>, and <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4281991-1&amp;h=2541231082&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fmatrixspace.com%2F&amp;a=MatrixSpace">MatrixSpace</a>.&nbsp;This collaboration&nbsp;gives remote drone operators a unified view for airspace awareness, deconfliction and mission control.

$1000 Invested In Axon Enterprise 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The current bull market has officially hit its two-year milestone, overcoming recession fears, elevated interest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates"> rates, and persistent skepticism.</a>
Since bottoming out on October 12, 2022, the S&amp;P 500 has soared 63%, driven by a resilient economy and impressive corporate earnings. Gains have been further amplified by optimism around productivity and breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.
Defying all expectations, the S&amp;P 500 is now trading at record highs, solidifying this as one of the most resilient—and surprising—bull markets in history.
&#8220;It is hard to believe that only two years ago the S&amp;P 500 closed at 3,577 as investors feared inflation was entrenched after wholesale inflation data unexpectedly ticked higher that day,&#8221; said Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial.
Looking back, this day marked the birth of a bull market—one that has grown against the odds and market skepticism. Quoting legendary investor John Templeton, Turnquist added "Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria."
Veteran market strategist Ed Yardeni has been a vocal proponent of the bull market since its inception. Reflecting on the last two years, Yardeni stated, &#8220;The current bull market started two years ago, and we've loved it from the start, even though it was among the most widely hated bull markets in history.&#8221; 
Many critics expected a recession due to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s tightening cycle, but Yardeni and other bullish analysts remained confident in the economy&#8217;s resilience. As Yardeni points out, "The economy has instead remained highly resilient, which has been our forecast since early 2022."

A Closer Look at Axon Enterprise's Options Market Dynamics

Fund manager Matthew Tuttle made waves in the ETF space for his unique funds that offer ways for investors to get leveraged exposure or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36500461/exclusive-the-man-who-shorts-cathie-wood-and-jim-cramer-filed-for-new-bitcoin-etfs-why-lev">bet against well-known financial figures</a> like Jim Cramer and Cathie Wood.
Tuttle is back with a new fund that gives investors a way to invest in companies that are not meeting ESG (environmental, social, and governance) requirements.
What Happened: Tuttle Capital Management launched the ETF Opportunities Trust Tuttle Capital Shareholders First Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGX#BATS">ESGX</a>), a new ETF that gives investors<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/23/09/34288808/want-to-bet-against-woke-companies-theres-an-etf-for-that"> a way to invest </a>in companies that "focus on profits, not politics or trendy activisms of the moment."
"ESGX allows investors to choose a portfolio of companies that follow the comment sense notion that companies that focus on profits are better for investors than companies that don't," a press release for the fund reads.
The ETF follows the AJN Shareholders First Index, which tracks a portfolio of U.S. companies that meet the requirement of focusing on profits and ignoring politics and "trendy activisms of the moment."
"Too many companies today put ESG and DEI politics first and their shareholders' profits last," Tuttle Capital CEO Matthew Tuttle said. "ESG has become a way for liberal executives and large investors to enact social changes that they can't pass at the ballot box."
Tuttle said CEOs can be pressured to "cave to the trendy politics of the moment," and often times this is not in the best interest of shareholders.
"That's why we launched ESGX – to put shareholders and profits first."
Tuttle added that investors had limited options of ways to invest in companies that put profits ahead of politics before the ETF launched.
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="http://ShareholdersFirstETF.com">holdings </a>in the ESGX ETF:
<ul>
<li>MarketAxess Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKTX#NASDAQ">MKTX</a>): 2.3% of assets</li>
<li>Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>): 2.2% of assets</li>
<li>J.B. Hunt Transport Services (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBHT#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>
<li>MDU Resources Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDU#NYSE">MDU</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>
<li>RLI Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RLI#NYSE">RLI</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>

Self Defense ETF Also Launches: Tuttle Capital also launched the Spinnaker ETF Series Tuttle Capital Self Defense Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GUNZ#BATS">GUNZ</a>) Tuesday.
The fund invests in companies that are engaged in self-defense, with a belief that the United States is becoming less safe.
The ETF invests in companies that manufacture, service, supply and distribute personal and law enforcement defense equipment and protection services. The fund tracks the AJN Self Defense U.S. Equity Index.
"Americans feel less safe and feel there is more crime in the country now than last year. Many Americans are taking self defense into their own hands," Tuttle said.
Tuttle added that shares of gun manufacturers have also risen after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
"Gun sales have rebounded after nearly three years of continuous decline and firearms manufacturers world wide have seen their stock surge after the terrorist attack on Israel and the Trump assassination attempt."
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="https://www.gunzetf.com/">holdings </a>in the GUNZ ETF:
